"Catholic Church, use the Roman (Latin) names rather than the Greek ones. The Romans, who, like the Greeks, were Indo-Europeans, shared with them a common pantheon under different names but lacked the rich narrative traditions that Greek poetic culture had given their gods. During the later period of the Roman Republic, Roman writers borrowed much of the Greek narratives and applied them to their own pantheon, to the point where they became virtually indistinguishable. When the Romans studied Greek astronomy, they gave the planets their own gods' names: ""Mercurius"" (for Hermes), ""Venus"" (Aphrodite), ""Mars"" (Ares), ""Iuppiter"" (Zeus) and ""Saturnus"" (Cronus)."

"Cornell suggests that the ""Sanctuary of the 13 altars"" discovered in the 1960s at Lavinium was the site of the Penates cult. Since each of the altars differ in style and date, it has been suggested that each was erected by a separate Latin city-state. Under the ever-growing influence of the Italiote Greeks, the Romans acquired their own national origin-legend sometime during the early Republican era (500-300 BC). It was centred on the figure of Aeneas, a supposed Trojan survivor of the destruction of Troy by the Achaean Greeks, as related in the poet Homer's epic the ""Iliad"" (composed c."

A more probable etymology connects the name with Etruscan god ""Satre"" and placenames such as ""Satria"", an ancient town of Latium, and ""Saturae palus"", a marsh also in Latium. This root may be related to Latin phytonym ""satureia"". Another epithet, variably ""Sterculius"", ""Stercutus"", and ""Sterces"", referred to his agricultural functions; this derives from ""stercus"", ""dung"" or ""manure"", referring to re-emergence from death to life.

In this view the sovereign god (Jupiter/Mitra) was associated with two minor deities, one concerned with the entry of men into society (Juventas/Aryaman) and the other with the fair division of their goods (Terminus/Bhaga).
